And it seems to be a common  trend to the stuffy smelly neo-conservative Republican movement.  (that was not a reference to ALL of them....) There are a few crazies like that on the TDI club- a recent argument came up about personal responsibility to the environment- you do not need to be a eco-nazi uber tree-hugger to give a crap about the environment.  My outlook is simple, I'd like to leave this planet in a tad bit better shape than it was in before I got here.  Do I do as much as I am able to do?  Probably not.  But I make an effort.  One of the reasons I want to have a Bio-diesel TDI-Rocco. Some of the crazies on the TDI-club (including a "born-again") wrote that he can drive all of the big V-8 SUV's that he wants, and as long as he serves God, God will take care of the planet.  Basically claiming no personal responsibility to the planet or

The environment is the source of our life, and weather you believe in god or not, it's where we came from and if we don't do our part, there will be no future left for anybody, regardless if it happens in our lifetime or not.

The only reason it has been lately is due to the religious fundamentalist  elements entering under the general banner of "conservatism" and gaining considerable power in the Republican party. Personally, if the Republicans were more like McCain and Schwartzenegger,  I might be able to re-claim my ability to proudly consider myself undecided/independent. Unfortunately, they're a minority these days in the Republican party. :-(
